Today I am going to run after work. Im not doing bleachers or anything just run my usual loop. I walked yesterday since I didn't run and I felt like I didn't get any kind of workout. UGH! I am just so sick and tired of wearing the same 4 things everyday! I have tried to look for new clothes but nothing fits! Even though im losing weight I am having a hard time finding pants that fit because of my "Baby Belly". Even though its getting smaller im still stuck in between sizes ALL the time. I'll find jeans that fit perfect in the legs but are to to tight or don't fit in the waist or ill find ones that fit in the waist but they are to big in the legs. Needless to say ive been wearing workout/yoga type pants because those seem to be the only thing that fits everywhere comfortably. I have found a few cute summer type tops that I like but they don’t look good with yoga pants lol so it’s a lose lose situation. I hate this shit!

With your shin pain you could try the RICE method:
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
It worked for me when I hurt my shins running.
You've already been doing the rest part, try putting your feet up in the evening with some ice packs for a few nights in a row and I bet it will help. You can do the compression part with an ace bandage, around your shins. I swear that it really helps.
Good luck! You have been doing great, don't let a few days off drag you down.

Thanks NC, i'll have to check out some resistance bands. Yesterday after stretching it wasn't as bad.
Funmom- I know I shouldn't beat myself over a few days off but man, I feel like such poop when I go a few days without exercising! Last night was the first time since Thursday that I got a good workout again and today I don't feel frumpy or blah... weird....
Last night I went to the track and after stretching for about 10mins. [to ensure my "shin splints" wouldn't be painful] had a pretty decent workout. I ran 2 laps, ran 1 set on the bleachers, half a lap of squats, another half backwards walking [while punching an invisible punching bag] half squats and half walking backwards. Ran one more set on the stairs than half a lap walking knee lifts, half walking backwards, half knee lifts and half walking backwards than to end it I ran one more set on the stairs.
For dinner last night we grilled some steak. My steak was about 5oz and I had grilled corn on the cob [Oh it was soo good!] and a simple salad of just romaine lettuce and spinach leafs [I thought I had tomatos in the fridge and also some cucumbers but when I came home we didn't have any after all and I didn't feel like going back out so my salad was pretty lame lol] I topped it with a tbsp of Reduced Fat Honey Mustard [O'Charleys brand].

Workout today is at the Track

We are riding the bikes [motorcycles] out to Buffalo Wild Wings. I am more than likely going to get a salad... Usually only thing I ever eat whenever we eat out.

Okay so I didn't go to the Track today. [I did run however]
Everyone thats been wanting me to meet up with them at the track and workout with them has failed to many times to show up and im sick of it. Here I am doing a favor for people by trying to motivate them in reaching their "goals" [notice my quotation marks] when all along mind you I am trying to reach my own, and all I keep hearing is excuse after excuse. I hate excuses in case you couldn't figure that out already. I hate it when someone tells me over and over and over that they want to get in shape and to lose weight and they want me to keep at them to do it when yet im wasting my fucking time and GAS to drive all the way to the High School and right as im about to pull in ON COME THE TEXT MESSAGES. Nothing but excuses... Latest one. "My roommate has the day off today so I can't workout, have to run errands. Sorry". In the beginning I didn't mind them as much but its been pretty much every to every other day now... Ya frig giving me a damn courtesy call EARLIER in the day so I don't waste my damn time driving out there to meet your ass... and what the hell does your roommate being home have to do with working out? Ya my son pooped his diaper, sorry everyone I CAN'T WORK OUT TODAY! .... Okay.... I think im done venting. Im just so aggarvated. No one motivates me IRL, no one tells me GOOD JOB KEEP IT UP... nope... I do it all on my own. Well im done trying to motivate other people and the next person that tells me they want to lose weight/get in shape but yet do nothing about it im going to go off the deep end!
And no.. I don't care if she reads this, I hope she does!
After fighting the traffic to come back home I almost didn't workout cause I was so pissed. I didn't want to stoop to their level though so I got out there and I ran and ran and ran and ran and it felt GOOD!

Nice job, you're such an inspiration. Every time I come on here I get motivated to work harder. Lame excuses aggrevate me as well, I think 75% of people always whine and complain about how they want to lose weight. When it comes time to show up though a lot of them just aren't putting in the effort. Oh well, thats what makes us different, we'll be looking hot on the beach and they'll still be in the same shape they were years ago.

I can completely understand, that's pretty rotten that they back out the last second. You also motivate me, seeing how much you do.

Yesterday was not a good day for me. At all. On my way home from work I figured I would stop in to TJ Maxx and try on some jeans. I am in desperate need of jeans. I only have pre-pregnancy jeans [a lot of them] which don’t fit and won’t fit anytime soon and I have a couple pairs of maternity jeans/pregnancy pants which are to baggy on me now. I go in the store and try on a couple of pairs. NONE fit. Not even a little. Don’t even get me started on damn Low-Rise either. After having a baby, low-rise jeans are a joke. I was so upset. I seriously only have 4 articles of clothing that fit me. I am sick and tired of wearing the same 4 things every single day. I also tried on some shirts. One was a medium and one was a Large. My pre-pregnancy size shirt was a medium. Well the Medium is to snug/tight and the Large is to baggy/lose. I just can’t win! I am sick and tired of this shit. It makes me feel like I am making ZERO progress. I have lost between 50-60lbs and yet I still can’t seem to find not one damn thing that fits me, and fits me comfortably. Needless to say it makes my self esteem shoot right down. I don’t know what to do. I need clothes though, I know that much! I need normal clothes too. Im sick of wearing workout/yoga pants ALL THE DAMN TIME!
Im feeling a little better today. Not much though. Im still annoyed.
BFast
1 Cup of Kashi Honey Almond Flax cereal
1 Cup of fat free milk
1 multivitamin
1 fish oil supplement
Snack
1 Kashi TLC crunch bar [lots of protein]
On another note I just talked to my boyfriend and he told me a package got dropped off at the house. My Turbo Jam DVD’s finally came in. About damn time! I ordered them shits around June 15! They were supposed to ship them 1-2 days after I placed the order. They didn’t ship them until Monday. HA… anyways. Hopefully these DVD’s will help me FIT INTO SOME CLOTHES!

Hey, I know what you mean about clothes not fitting. When I went to the store at the beginning of the summer I was planning on buying some new shorts for summer and I was so bummed, none of the ones I tried on would fit. The whole summer I have been wearing one pair of cargo shorts or one of my pairs of draw-string shorts. I will be so happy when I can go into a store and confidently take items into the dressing room. It was awful having to put every pair of shorts back b/c they didn't fit.
Be strong and hang in there, you have been doing so great with your workouts, you are going to get to where you want to be.

Im still here! Im not falling off the wagon until I lose this weight! lol
I have been pretty sick since Sunday. My son had a nasty nasil drip and cough going on and SURE ENOUGH I got it lol. My throat felt completely raw Sunday... it was bad. Monday and Tuesday my head felt like it was full of air, my eyes were burning and watery all day and my nose wouldn't stop dripping.
Today I am still congested but not nearly as bad as Monday and Tuesday. I could actually go a couple of hours without having to blow my nose and I don't feel like an airhead anymore. Sooooo I went to the track and ran 2 laps, ran 1 set up/down the bleachers. Did one full lap of 4 different core training exercises, another 1 lap up and down the bleachers and 1 more lap of 4 core training exercises. All in all I worked out about 45mins.
BFast this morning was 1/2 cup of Kashi Coco Beach granola with 1 cup of fat free milk
Snack: Missed snack
Lunch: 1 whole wheat Pita with 2tbsp of Garlic and Olive oil sauce and fat free mozzerella cheese. 1 60 calorie sugar free chocolate Jello cup.
Snack: 1 Kashi TLC bar
Dinner: [The Pita was really good so we had them for dinner too except I grilled some boneless/skinless chicken and put that on the Pita's along with the sauce and cheese]
Its funny... I work out, work out, work out and work out... than I go a couple days without working out and I amazingly enough I look like I lost even more weight lol

I know I haven’t posted in a little bit [once again] Im not sure why… Don’t worry though I haven’t fallen off the band wagon [ya right… me fall off it? I think not lol]. I was pretty busy this weekend that’s one of the reasons I haven’t posted. Another is me and Josh were kind of in a rut and I was pretty depressed about it but we talked last week and things are getting better between us.
So Saturday I pretty much cleaned the whole house, top to bottom. Washed and folded every piece of clothing that needed washing of mine, Josh’s and the baby’s. Cleaned out the laundry room [we have a pretty large laundry room], cleaned the master bath, guest bath and kitchen. Cleaned out the fridge and pantry. Cleaned our bedroom and closet. By the time I was done cleaning it was 3:30pm and I was about to go to the track and when I went over there, there was a really dark purple cloud and some rumbling so I figured I would just go home and run than. I get home and the cloud is now coming towards the house and I saw some lightening [Go figure…] So I didn’t run. I than went and put my “Learn and Burn” in the DVD player and started that. I got 15mins through it and friends decided to come over so there went my workout. I didn’t feel to guilty about because honestly I was pretty tired from cleaning since 7am that morning.
Sunday I went riding with a friend. We rode from 11am till about 3:30. Needless to say all I had for lunch was a Nature Valley granola bar [looked like the only healthy thing at the gas station lol] When I got home we decided to go to Ruby Tuesdays for dinner and I got the Carolina Chicken Salad… not the best choice but I don’t care for anything else there and that salad is really good! Basically is romaine and spinach leaves, shredded cheese, tomato’s, and pieces of fried chicken. Oh well… It was good. Came home and about an hour later I went running.
BFast: 1 serving of Kashi Coco Beach Granola cereal/1 cup of Organic skim milk with 1 sliced Banana.
